Soul, an avid follower of David’s work.
This will be an unforgettable evening of nostalgia, absorbing art,
atmosphere and classic music from an era that will live on forever.

memorabilia on display
In addition there will be dancers to demonstrate the athletic and innovative dance moves
associated with the music. Also on show will be paintings from the soon to be released
